Good morning! Today’s post will link up to The Sunday Salon and The Sunday Post for weekly updates.
Mailbox Monday is hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
And let’s join Kathryn, our leader in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, at Book Date.

Another week has flown by, and while I only read two books (and a half of another), and only wrote four blog posts, I did enjoy some viewing . I was immediately hooked on The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix, and started watching something different called Night Sky. Then I watched old favorites like When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail. I always need flicks like these to make me feel the warm fuzzies. And I need Kleenex with these movies!
On Monday, my #2 son and his three adult children are coming through town to meet up with those of us who live in these parts…for lunch. And in a couple of weeks, my daughter is styling my hair and taking me and another friend to “linner” afterwards.
Now let’s sip some coffee, tea, or a mimosa…and take a closer look at the week.

That was my week. I am still rearranging things and dreaming of other goodies to add…but this cute little diner from Coca Cola is just a fantasy. I think my house is “full enough” for now.
What does your week look like? Enjoy!

That is great that your weeks are always busy…love when mine are busy.
Enjoy your books and this upcoming week.

Thanks, Elizabeth, I stay up later these days, too, and sometimes I am tempted to sleep in…but then the day calls out for me! (Or maybe it’s just the coffee.)
Enjoy your week!

Thanks, Mark, there was a movie of The Lincoln Lawyer, but the series is even better, IMO, because there is more depth to the stories.

I watched the movie. Can’t remember now if I listened to the audio before or after the movie came out, but that was pretty much what made me start me on Michael Connelly.

Thanks, Jinjer, when I read about all your cooking, I feel guilty, since I go out to eat when family comes…instead of cooking for them. But I’m probably doing them a favor, lol.
Enjoy your week.

Don’t feel guilty. The ONLY reason I cook so much is because we don’t HAVE delivery options where my mom lies. There is no Uber Eats or Postmates or anything. No Instacart for groceries. I’d be having EVERYTHING delivered if I could. Sigh.
